‘The State of California has proven its blind devotion to state and national teachers’ unions and notched a victory in its campaign to replace the natural, lawful and essential involvement of parents in their child’s life with its own radical social, sexual and political beliefs.’ — Rebecca Friedrichs

LOS ANGELES — Rebecca Friedrichs, founder of For Kids & Country, issues the following statement in response to news the California Department of Education has officially approved the California Healthy Youth Act (AB329):

“Despite massive statewide opposition to this explicit and medically inaccurate sex education health framework, union-funded government bureaucrats unanimously decreed Wednesday that the State knows better than any parent what is and is not right, appropriate, moral, healthy and effective when it comes to rearing our children and teaching them about the world. With this framework now approved, the State of California has proven its blind devotion to state and national teachers’ unions and notched a victory in its campaign to replace the natural, lawful and essential involvement of parents in their child’s life with its own radical social, sexual and political beliefs. However, the State should beware — as this astonishing framework is implemented, and as parents and teachers see the graphic lessons and activities imposed upon vulnerable children, there no doubt will be an even stronger push back from outraged parents, teachers and community members.”
